Taco Stuffed Shells: Cheesy Mexican-Italian-inspired goodness

Share this:

I have had my eye on this recipe — from one of my favorite food bloggers, Closet Cooking — for quite some time. Yet, I purposely held off on us making it until after a long hard hike because it is just so fattening. Even our skinnied down version, with smaller portions, comes in at 16 Weight Watchers PointsPlus Values!

But, it was worth the wait and the splurge! The filling is out of this world. So much flavorful heart-warming lick-the-spoon goodness.

Next time, we’ll make this for the kids, and perhaps I’ll go fo an easier process by converting it into a Mexican lasagna instead of stuffing shells.

Don’t let the number of ingredients fool you. This recipe is quite easy.

Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about a minute.

Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up, about 10 minutes.
